In the future, we'll probably lose the ability to verbalize or construct sentences because our thoughts will be directly understood by LLMs, it'll be too easy and convenient.
Marshferm•5h ago
It can’t be LLMs they’re incompatible with thought.

They'll give up talking to us too, and just interface through our ears. The LLM earpiece will just make some 2800 baud modem noises and we'll move around like marionettes.

Not quite a wordless scenario, but after seeing some people today already scrolling for dopamine, I'm still worried:

> I can remember putting on the headset for the first time and the computer talking to me and telling me what to do. It was creepy at first, but that feeling really only lasted a day or so. Then you were used to it, and the job really did get easier. Manna never pushed you around, never yelled at you. The girls liked it because Manna didn’t hit on them either. Manna simply asked you to do something, you did it, you said, “OK”, and Manna asked you to do the next step. Each step was easy. You could go through the whole day on autopilot, and Manna made sure that you were constantly doing something. At the end of the shift Manna always said the same thing. “You are done for today. Thank you for your help.” Then you took off your headset and put it back on the rack to recharge. The first few minutes off the headset were always disorienting — there had been this voice in your head telling you exactly what to do in minute detail for six or eight hours. You had to turn your brain back on to get out of the restaurant.

If I had my legal 'druthers, such, er, "brain-derived mental content" would be flatly illegal to obtain without a specific and discrete sharing decision by the person, and such decisions may not be part of any contract, so:

1. You can buy a tool and use it to monitor yourself, whether daily-logger, dream-recorder, a fetish-detector, whatever.

2. You can share specific results with others on a case-by-case basis, but it's illegal for them to obtain it any other way.

3. It is not illegal (or at least unenforceable) for someone to require you to share results in exchange for something else, like requiring employees to wear a disloyalty-detector headband.

The question of how it applies to the 5th amendment right against self-incrimination... Hmm. Someone placing Guilt-O-Meter on your head would be illegal, but if you did it yourself and left log files around...
